Subj : Hostname resolution delay

Hey all--I'm experiencing increasing delays in resolving the hostname when I connect to my board and I'm curious if anyone has any tips on how I can clear them up. I'm currently having SBBS restart services after a user logs off (and checking that no other users are logged in). Here's the rest of how I have it set up:

-A domain from GoDaddy with a DNS record pointing to,
-A hosted Ubuntu VPS serving as a static IP that leads to,
-A reverse SSH tunnel from a Win 10 32-bit VM to the VPS

If I try to sign on right after signing off, the board responds immediately. The longer the board goes without a call, the longer the hostname resolution takes. Regardless of final resolution time, I get the initial Synchronet version statement at the top of the screen right away.
